Brain Surgeon Explains Which Medical Scans Use Radiation?

Описание: Many people worry about radiation from medical imaging — but not all scans involve radiation, and the risks are often misunderstood.

In this video, a neurosurgeon explains medical imaging and radiation clearly and practically, including:
• Which imaging studies do and do not use radiation
• MRI vs CT vs X-ray vs nuclear medicine scans
• How much radiation common scans actually involve
• How medical radiation compares to natural background radiation, air travel, and daily life
• When imaging benefits clearly outweigh potential risk
• Special considerations for children and repeat imaging

This video is designed to provide context and clarity, not fear. Medical imaging is a critical tool that saves lives, and understanding it helps patients make informed decisions.
